Yeah, the World’s Crazy, So Don’t Give Up!

With everything that’s going on these days, a lot of people are feeling hopeless, and afraid, and like there’s not a very bright future ahead. Someone asked me a couple of questions that really made me consider this from a perspective different from my own.

Speaking for myself, I get overwhelmed by the amount of vitriol and anger swirling all around these days. As much as I want to bury my head and hope it goes away, I can’t. Things won’t change if there’s no one to change them. And as crazy as times are, there is still so much good. I believe it’s super important that those of who can see it, show others where to find it.

I think when things are really hard, and the future looks bleak, we have some choices to make that determine our future. We can do nothing and probably be miserable, or we can do everything in our power to hold on and move in a better direction. If we don’t give up, our future can be pretty good. We just have to do a bit of work.

Yeah, our world is full of crazy and awful stuff. It’s hard to keep going when it looks like all is lost. I guess, for me, I can’t give up, because I can make a difference. Even if it’s a small one. That’s why I write. I can look for the good stuff, and show it to others who need to be reminded it’s still there. And when I’m tired, I remember I’m not just doing this for myself. We all need hope. So maybe think of someone you care about, and do stuff for them that helps them live a better life. And know, that even if things are falling down around you, you are still important. Your life matters. Your words matter. You matter. So don’t let the crazy stuff win. Keep going. There is still so much beauty to be found for you. It just may take a bit of work, and time, to see it.

I hope this helps.
